    This sounds cool but I wonder if the sponnserers being veeterans have any say in the judging because if they do then it almost has to be Pro-Military

    I agree with the poster below... Im 26 & finally FINALLY going after my dreams & its a risky road & many of these really good scholarships are for High school seniors. Two Ive seen so far having to do with America which is a very strong subject for me that I am passionate about & only HS students can apply. Wish all those the best on your essays!!! :)
